If I had to guess because SteamOS is based on Arch and Manjaro being easy to use and based on it as well saves R&D.

After a while it’s basically muscle memory so you don’t have to go digging as much. OpenBSD’s are my favorite. So well-written.

I wish he’d stop getting any kind of attention at all. He is a fraud.

Etymotics

Lists. Music. Earplugs for if I can’t remove myself from an overstimulation situation. Reminders and calendar events for everything. Keep all my stuff in the same spot. Take walks every day. Try to remember to eat and sleep well by keeping a strict routine. The last thing is crucial for me.

Very similar to my account.

Gentoo is fantastic for learning. It forced me to get intimate with internals I had no exposure to before. And I learned a lot of little tricks from it that accelerated my career. Or at least made it easier.

I’d try to find something a bit more beefy if you plan on compiling almost everything. And once you get it where you like it, take a backup or system image you can restore to. Because when it breaks, it’ll be a lot less painful to start over.

They have tools that let you cross-post effortlessly, so that’s strange.

No prob. Been there. Hope you eventually get it all sorted out.

I thought we cancelled Ellen.

I was on-call and half awake when I got paged about a cache server’s memcached being down for the third time that night. They’d all start to go down like dominoes if you weren’t fast enough at restarting the service, which could overwhelm the database and messaging tiers (baaaaad news to say the least). Two more had their daemon shit the bed while I was examining it. Often it was best to just kick it on all of them to rebalance things. It was… not a great design.

So I wrote a quick loop to ssh in and restart the service on each box in the tier to refresh them all just in case and hopefully stop the incessant pages. Well. In my bleary eyed state I set reboot in the variable instead of restart. Took out the whole cache tier (50+) and the web site. First and only time I did that but that definitely woke me up. Oddly enough the site ran better after that for months as my reboots uncovered an undiscovered problem.

Mullvad is blocked quite often so this has me curious if obfuscation would do anything.

That our state exists. People list off east coast states and forget ours all the time or think it’s a city if they recognize the name.

Capitalism is the point. They’re usually fine tools until they have investors steering the ship.

It’s hard to get out of that mindset once you’re in it and you see what people are capable of.

Always be unpredictable. It could save you from getting robbed or mugged.

Is funny how we have all this tech for it and they’ve only managed to enshittify the process. Some sites are going back to the original purpose like indeed but it’s still like tossing your resume into space.
